This
pattern is dedicated to my Aunt Susie. She loves my towel toppers
so much that she always cut the topper off when the towel was worn
out and sewed the topper to a new towel. Now she doesn't have to do
that anymore.

The
following pattern is my original design.
Please only copy or print this pattern for personal use.Please contactme if you find any errors.
